But … Groupon is based in Chicago.

Having lived in both Portland and Singapore, I can safely say that's actually a dead-on point that had never occurred to me before.

Why is it always "Lost's Carlton Cuse" and never "Nash Bridges's Carlton Cuse?"

The Avengers' specialty is saving the world from tremendous threats. The X-Men's specialty is sitting around in their mansion waiting to get attacked.

I disagree. I honestly think that aspect of the story is more outrageous — outrageous in the sense that it literally causes outrage — the way TAL plays it. I started that segment assuming it was going to be a cute, bittersweet real-life twist on 21 Jump Street and it turned into a powerfully disturbing parable on the…

Modern Guilt was awesome. Its brevity is one of its strengths. I thought Beck kind of lost it with The Information, but Modern Guilt's a great record.

Carrie may have been authentically skewering herself there. I am told by knowledgeable folks that the members of Sleater-Kinney regularly cheated at trivia nights.

These writeups should be interesting. If my memory's right most of us big DCAU fans and superhero fans were pretty thoroughly disappointed in Justice League at the time — I know I tend to view it with rose-colored glasses because of the knowledge of what it would evolve into in its second season and in Justice League…

We've already seen "a bunch of funny black guys fight aliens." It was called "Attack the Block," and it was awesome.

The one thing that could — will — get me to watch OWN is Zach Anner's forthcoming travel show, which Sean didn't mention in this writeup. Which is understandable, of course, because it's not on yet.

Glad to see joining a new band hasn't prevented Carrie from doing that high-kick thing she does.

Really nice point about Leela being one of the more adventurous companions the show has ever had — although there's a fair number of other companions that come from past or future time periods or are nonhuman. Zoe, Jamie, K9, Romana, Adric, Kamelion, etc. But I think given the show's epic scope and broad storytelling…

For the most part I don't miss the historicals either, but there are certain settings when they would make sense, so it's occasionally regrettable that the show has totally turned its back on them.

This is a really good interview.

I will now attempt to start a thread that has nothing to do with Karen Gillan's hotness.

First. She's got the red hair, she's got the hot accent, she's got a cute face, she's got legs that go up to I don't know where. And she pulls off the "hot/adorable" combination better than any companion since Zoe.
